Time difference between Mexico City and Seoul

Seoul is 15 hours ahead of Mexico City

Mexico City, Mexico is UTC−6 · Seoul, South Korea is UTC+9 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Mexico City does not change its clocks and Seoul does not change its clocks — so 15 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Mexico City and nine-to-five in Seoul do not overlap at all. With 15 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
